Az OBJECTLESSON FOR LiWYERS


1t is to be hoped that he experience Of Col
oncl Gcbhard, his expulsion from the New
York Club by a unanimous vote Of the COM
mittcc empowered to deal with the case, the
manifest satisfaction Of the club at large with
tho verdict. and the acquicSccncc Of popular
sentiment wi confirm the lesson which other
incidents Of recent occurrence ought to have
taught certain class Of lawyers in this town.
Colonel Gcbhard was expelled because he WAS
believed to have procured by false prctcnccS
the auditing II a bill for legal services which
he may or may not have been justified in think
ng he had right to submit. Without goIn !,
INTO details or side issues. that was the ciSt of
the case and there is need TO discuss it
further in this place. But one Of the points
involved. II not perfect illustration is at least
a suggestion Of the way in which too many
Ncw-Iork lawyers are in the habit Of doing
business.
IL Is admitted that Colonel Gchhard in search
ing the title to the new property Of the cub.
relied on the abstract, up 10 1861. Of the attor-
Lcys for the trust company holding the prop
cty. He paid nothing for It's use, but his bill
gave no indication of that fact and this is a
suitable text for "A short sermon on the sort Of
practice to which citizens Of Ncw-lork have
long been forced to submit. In days not very
remote lawyers Of good rank and reputation
were not ashamed to line their pockets by de
mands Whici Iad ail the features Of cNtortion
and bore far too close a likeness To blackmal
There has been "A crcdlIabic reformation in this

case in point was brought tC our attention a
few years ago. An insurance company had
made "A large loan on satisfactory real estate
security after its lawyer had searched the title
When the borrower called for the hISt install
mcni he was presented with an ample bin for
legal services rendered BY the tender attorney
which he paid, supposing that he should hear
nothing more on that score But To his surprise.
when he drew the next instaimcnt he was con
frontcd with another bill proportionatcly large.
and tins interesting performance was repeated
with every successive instamcnt Of the loan.
1t was "A peculiarly bare faced out rage. for. OF
course, after The ttlo had been proved any
lawyers clerk could have assured his principal
by tcn-mnutcs' search and payment Of the
statutory fee that no subsequent lien had been
recorded. But The lawyer for the insurance
company believed that he was in position to
say Stand and deliver" and did not hesitate
To say it.
II IS (uc to such performances as this and to
others Of different character but indicative of
kindicd rapacty and lack Of conscience that
iiI> community has come to regard the legal
profession and the administration Of Justice

yciS and upright Judges do not avail to coun-

opinion that the President has acted within
his constit utional rights in naming the Com
missoncrs white the Senate was not in session,
is not accepted by some leading Republican
Senators. They admit that The President has
under the Constitution power TO ill vacancies
occurring after the adjournment Cf the Senate.
| but they contend that hc has power 10 create
| now Offices by nomination or appOin mcnt. a
vacancy implies a previously existing Office
and hence there is GAINED to be no warrant in
the Constitution foI the appo nmcnt Of Com
miSsiOncrs or diplomatic agents whose functions
have net been authorized by statute or resOlu-
ton of Congress. The controversy is one
already attracting attention in Washington.
where the Senator'S are rapidly gathering Tor
thc winter.
Two prcccdents having a direct bearing on
this question are frccr discussed. One Of
these is a resolution passed by the Senate dun
ing the Presidential term of Mr. Madison pro-
testing against the appointment of Albert Gal
latin, John Quincy Adams and James \. BNard
grandfather Of the present Secretary Of State
as COMMISSIONERS u ucPOintc tlfHlN WIN
Great Britain. This was characterized as an
act not authorized by the Constitution ana in
the performance Of which the power Of the
Senate was disicgardcd Objection to the ap-
pointmcnts was raised on the ground that
vacancies cou'd not exist in offices which bad
never been f I'D. and thereto " that the Adj
ninistIation Of the day exceeded its constilu-
tional powers IN practically creating the com
mission without The consent Of the Senate. The
precise question now involved in the appoint
mcnt OF the Fisheries Commission was thus
anticipated when Secretary Bayards grand
father with MIR Gal atm end Mr.. Adams ncgO
tatcd the Treaty Of Ghont.
The second precedent is ctcd from tho
records OF the Senate when John Quincy ADAMS
was President. He Lad comm.sS onCd Ministers

question no one can answer but it does not
seem likely that this novel deadlock can con-
tinue for great while. The President will
doubtless yield to the inevitable when he sees
how unloading is the opposition to him. As
